TH0 KighU or .Stockholders.
The supreme court lmn decided an in
tretlng question raised by the mauda
fflui Applied for byGeorge II. Sellers
against the Pliicnlx iron company, te
compel it te exhibit te him Its books, as
ene of Its stockholder, that he might
secure 1 herefrem the Information necea
wry te cnnble him te state correctly the
faets In n bill of equity which he desired
te flie te secure an accounting of the
company for thopreQUiof its business
Thecourtbelew had refused the writ, but
the supreme court has granted it, and
we de net sce hew It could properly have
been refused. The reason urged against
It was that Mr. Sellers was a rival in
business te the Phujnix'lren compa
ny ? and that if business men should be
Allowed te inspect the books of rival
concerns, great injury would be dene by
the exposure of business secrets. Judge
Trunkey, who delivered the supreme
court's opinion, thought there was ferce
in the position, but that it was net suf
ficient te take away from a copartner his
right te specific information needed for
aspeclfle case. It seems te us that there
Is a great deal mere of sound than sub
stance in the reason urged for protect
lug a Arm's books from the inspection of
a hostile interest. It can always be
avoided by buying out such an interest
and the seller is net likely te
demand se much mero that) his
interest is worth ns te make its purchase
much of an imposition. When trouble
arises it Is generally due te the fact that
the parties let their angry passions rise
and grew stubborn. And that was about
thecase in this matter between Sellers
und Iteevea. The former was for some
time the superintendent of the Phrvnix
company, and In that capacity became
an owner of its stock. In time he began
te feel his eats, and thought he was n
bigger nmu than Mr. Iieeves thought
him. A severance of relations occurred
and Mr. Sellers started up large rival
industries in and about Philadelphia.
The PI rcnix iron company organized
within Ubdf a bridge building
company, which would serve te
milk the Phcenlx company's profits
into Us handy maw, after the manner
of construction companies of railroads ;
and ever since the Plwnix Iren company
has been growing and doing a flourishing
business, but declaring no dividend,
which the bridge company has had a
monopoly of. Naturally Mr. Sellers did
net like the situation, and he has been
trying te get it alt red ; but the only
way in which he can get a dividend is te
Bhew that it bus been earned ; and the
oily way te show this is by the books;
and se for j ears he has been trying te
get an inspection of them, and strangely
enough he has failed until new.
We say it is strange; for certainly it
seems that every co-partner should be
privileged te examine the books of his
buiinefs, and it is hard te see why a
stockholder is net entitled te a like priv
ilege, when he can discover te a court
the reasonable nature of his demand
aim mat no ucsirc.i uie exposure ter a
needful and proper purpose. This is the
law, us we Imve understood it te be ex
pounded by the supreme court ; and it is
an Important exposition of it. Under it
we trust that the accounts of our corpo
rations will be subject te such scrutiny
by the stockholders as U satisfy thooili theoili thoeili
cers before long that they ate net the
owners of the reads they mauage as their
own, though often with but a fewdellaiH
of Interest In the ownership. If the
courts f.-Ill help stockholders te maintain
the fact that they are the real owners of
their property, and net simply lis last
security holders, they will de something
which lias long been ever locked by them
iutheir adjudications.
We see it stated that a panel of 1,00
jurors was exhausted in selecting the
twelve men, who tried Denier, the Cln
cinnatl murderer ; and that it is the
practice of Cincinnati lawyers, having
undertaken te defend, te mail te each
juror en the regular panel a copy of the
evidence taken at the corent r's Inquest,
and published in ihe newspapers, se as
te disqualify the regular jurors from
serving, en account of their having read
the testimony, which Is said te disqualify
him as a juror en the case under the Ohie
law. What further means are used
te secure from the specially bummened
Jurers such us may be agreeablote the
prisoner's counsel we are net told ; but
ifitlstrue that it Is the constant prac
tice of Cincinnati juries te deal tee
gently with Cincinnati niurderere, it is
evident that them wns a fault In the ad
ministration of justice which should
have been corrected before It became, ee
notorious as te arouse the riot spirit of
ine town ; and the Cincinnati judges
ought te have had the wit te discern and
the wisdom te amend it.
If any coal dealer should contract te
supply the city with liiO tens of coal,
2,000 pounds each, be would be expected
te de It. Were he te furnish 8T tens of
eOOpiuuds each, the councilman who
would vote te pay him even as much nu
25 per cent, of his full price would very
prepei ly be regarded aa a thief.
We de notrecegniza any essential dif
ference Iwtween a contract for fuel and a
contract for light.
The Maxim electric light company
contracted te light the town with 120
lamps of 2,000 candle power each. In In
Bteadef fulfilling this contract, it has
from 7.r te 100 lamps burning mero or
less fltfullynnd, us near as we can Judge
they uverase about 600 candle power. '

TtiRiii: Is no room for doubt that If
the pepulace of Richmond, Charleston
or Xew Orleans, Infuriated by the ac
quittal, say, of a negre murderer, had
risen In arms and resorted te riot like
thomen who drenched Cincinnati with
firennd bleed, Sherman and Hear would
have struggled In the United Slates

offer a resolution for federal Investiga

Tin; New Yerk Sun says that what
ever may be said of the way In which
Gov. Headly met the exigency of the
Cincinnati riot, ene tiling will ever stand
out te his credit ; and that is that he did
net call for United States tioeps, as did
Gov. llartranft, of Pennsylvania, and
Gov. Carrell, of Maryland, when tlie
awhlle age faced a riot. It is well hit ;
Pennsylvania blushes ; but Pennsylva

Ne satisfactory olue has yet bscn found
by which tbe identity of the boadless
coipse found in Wisahiokeu creek last
Wednesday may be asoertniued. Iuferma
tien was sent from this city yosterday te
Philadelphia that the body might be that
e' Samuel Kegerlse, a married man of
Iteinheld's station, thiB county, who left
h's home ten days age, taking $50 with
him. The description of the murdered
man tallies with that of Kogerise, evon te
a disfigured ilnger whieh has a peculiar
mark. A brotber in-law of Kegorise went
te Philadelphia te investigate the matter
and thus far nothing has been beard from
him in rofeiouco te his quest.
It is soareoly prebable, however, that
the body found iu llanwell's dam is that
of ICogerlso, ler the reason that the latter
has been missing only ten days, while all
the physicians ngroe tint the body mutt
have bceu in the water a luudli louder
tlme.
A rumor that the body was thit of an
Italinu laborer murdored en the new
Schuylkill VaUey riilread is disproved by
thn laet that tbe alleged murdered man Is
still living.
